Trump extends Iran ceasefire indefinitely

President Donald Trump unilaterally extended the ceasefire with Iran just hours before it was set to expire, citing a request from Pakistan's leadership to allow more time for diplomatic negotiations.

The administration maintains that the Iranian regime is currently too fractured to present a coherent counter-offer, necessitating a longer window for internal consolidation.

However, the U.S. continues its aggressive naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which the President claims is causing the Iranian economy to collapse.

Tensions remain high as global energy markets react to the continued closure of the vital shipping waterway.
